Spending October 21st at Lynde Shores CA

On the 21st of October I visited Lynde Shores Conservation Area near Ajax, by Lake Ontario. It was quite a productive day as I and a group of friends saw 50 species in total until lunchtime.
It was an unusual day because we were there for an OFO Trip, however it was moved to next week and we were not notified. However, we still had fun and took some decent photos.

There was a great abundance of sparrows. Apparently someone also spotted a Long-eared Owl among the evergreens, but we didn't get a chance to see it. There was also a wide range of duck species and numerous herons present. A good bird we observed was the Nashville Warbler by the marsh, which was supposed to have migrated by now. (See that yellow blur!)
